#hazal alpman || introduction

"Oh." Adrian paused, though he would be honest he barely knew where that was. He'd been, sure, but he didn't know how to get there from here without his GPS, even though he grew up navigating the busy streets of New York it was a cakewalk compared to this town in his mind. "If it's not within walking distance I'll save that for another day." he admitted. He was on a time crunch after all and he hadn't exactly been making great use of his time thus far. "You're correct though, I would've never thought much about a dive bar having something like that, but you seem like you know what you're talking about, so, that has to mean something." he admitted. "I'll give it a try." he nodded. "Care to lead the way?" @hazalxalpman

Hazal nodded her head, "Understandable. It's worth trying when you've got the time." She told the other, feeling a little bad that it wasn't closer. Not that she could have done anything about that. Her head gave way to a nod and she smiled at him. "Sure, it's not too far." She smiled at him, pausing for a beat as she started walking. "I'm sorry, I'm Hazal. I don't even think I introduced myself to you at all." Her lips were drawn upward, almost in an embarrassed kind of smile. "I'm a baker down at Seaside Sweets if you like treats." @adriandvieira

"I bring Tavua over there any time I'm working a long shift and she loves it. Don't know why she's never gotten a pet of her own to keep her company, honestly," she shrugged. She knew her mom got lonely when her dad was out at sea and she was too busy herself to be there. A pet seemed like the perfect addition to her mom's life. "Are you kidding? I would love that. Just name a price and consider it paid. I can hang it right in my living room, Tavua can look at herself all day."

@hazalxalpman

"Maybe she just needs a little encouragement." Hazal said, nodding to the kitten. "Perhaps she just needs the right pet to fall into her life." And Tauva always went home with Aliye, because that was her dog. "Please, I wouldn't charge you." Though she highly doubted any of her friends would let her get away for making art for them for free. And it was because they were friends. "She's such a star. She deserves to look at herself all day long. I mean, I would if I were her." Hazal teased with a lighthearted laugh. @aliyebalik

"Thank you," it meant a lot to him that she'd sit with him even after he was an ass to her. He smiled over at her, before continuing with the vaporub, his attention on the small jar in his hands. The smell of it already started to clear his sinuses a bit, but he continued to make sure he had enough on his chest. He could feel her eyes on him and he smirked and kept his eyes on the jar, "I'll definitely be taking that as a compliment though I'd argue and say I'm always hot." He winked at her before closing the jar and letting out another cough into his elbow. He was already feeling better, both physically from the rub and the tea and now mentally as the tension hanging above them seemed to be melting away. He kept his shirt off, letting the rub dry and he leabed his head back on the throw pillow for a moment before he out up his hands at her statement. "I can't make any promises but I'll try my best," his phone rested on the table as his eyes looked at it before looking up at his fiance. "Maybe something Disney? Those always make me feel better." @hazalxalpman

"You would argue that," Hazal quipped back in return, but a playful smile pulled the corners of her mouth upward. Their banter was something that Hazal often appreciated between them, knowing that they could move on from a fight as well. "Sure," she nodded her head, popping over to the Disney application that was on their television. She scrolled through it. "We could have a Toy Story marathon, get ready for the new one coming out." Though she wasn't nearly as excited for it, she felt obligated to continue watching the series as she grew up with it. @archiemorgan

"Nex time I will." She said as she laughed for a moment. Once she turned to her best friend and both of their faces where fallen, she took a deep breath and let it all out. "Tyler kissed me." She told her. "The day we did the private gender reveal. We found out and he kissed me and he said he wanted to try maybe being together. Like a couple." Her heart was beginning to race as she was admitting this, finally, to someone. She had been holding onto it for days and it was driving her nuts. @hazalxalpman

Hazal's jaw fell at the words leaving Renee. That's not at all what she had been expecting, not that she could have placed her finger on exactly what Renee was going to say in the first place. "How do you feel about it?" Hazal quickly asked, her eyes growing wide as she hoped to get her friend's honest opinion. "I mean is that something you want?" She knew that they hadn't exactly planned the pregnancy but there was no rule that said they had to be together romantically or at all, if it wasn't what she wanted. @reneevthompson

Listening as the other seemed to be able to give him an answer immediately. It was something he admired; though he shouldn't have been too shocked. He'd certainly been the same way when he'd been in New York. The second someone needed a recommendation, he'd been the first one to give the name of his favorite place. "Neptune Oyster." he repeated. "Is that close to here?" he questioned, though, he could easily just look it up on his phone. And probably would as soon as he wasn't in the presence of someone else. He wasn't going to be rude and pull his phone out of his pocket when someone had actually taken a moment out of their day to help him. "I'm still learning this town so I honestly don't even know where I am right now." @hazalxalpman

"It's actually over in Emerald Mist." It wasn't that far of a hike to the restaurant, if one were in a vehicle. "It's not exactly walking distance from here." She admitted to him, a soft smile touching her lips. "But, Wingman's Pub does have some good fish and chips if you wanted to forgo the fresh veggies and make it fried fish." Hazal offered to him. "One wouldn't think a dive bar has something good like that, but it's pretty underrated if you ask me." The brunette lifted her shoulders into a shrug. "And that's just up the street here." @adriandvieira

Coughing into the crook of his elbow, he nodded and looked up at her. He could only imagine how puffy and red his eyes were from feeling like shit. As he waited for her to get the vaporub, he closed his eyes, draping his arm across his forehead. Gatsby came over and rested his chin upon the couch by Archie's hand. Hearing her come back down, he opened his eyes and nodded at her, "thanks. If I wasn't too contagious, I'd ask you to rub it on my chest but I don't wanna get you sick." He smiled at her softly before taking off his shirt and unscrewing the little jar and dipping his finger into it and then rubbing it across his chest. "You don't have to sit here with me if you don't want, but I do appreciate it." @hazalxalpman

"I will always sit with you," Hazal assured, watching as he rubbed the vaporub against his chest. Her eyes lingered on him, "You know, even sick, you're still pretty hot." She teased, not wanting tension to sit between them any longer than it already had that morning. Especially with Gatsby sitting with him. The two had a bond unlike any other. "I also better not see you doing any work while you're sick," her finger lifted, wagging it in his direction before she leaned forward to grab the remote. "What do you want to watch?" @archiemorgan

"If you don't find a place for the little guy, let me know. I've been threatening to bring home a pet for my mom for years," she offered, knowing it would be a perfect landing spot even if her mom didn't know it yet. The house was empty when her dad was gone and while Aliye did bring Tavua over to spend the day with her mom a lot, a pet of her own would be a nice change of pace for the days Aliye didn't make it over there. "That's so cute, though. I would absolutely buy one. I haven't really put up much artwork in my new place yet, so a Hazal Alpman original would be a killer place to start."

@hazalxalpman

"Oh, really?" Her brow raised, "I mean, by all means." Hazal laughed, "It sounds like the little one already has a home with your mom, then." She smiled at her. "I think that's sweet." She didn't assume that Aliye had poor intentions in getting her mother a cat. "Wow," she felt her cheeks flush as red as tomatoes with the compliment. "I'd be happy to whip you up something custom. Maybe a watercolor of Tavua, if you want." She offered to her, "I do love doing pet portraits." Before Gatsby, she had never really had pets but it was something she had grown to adore. @aliyebalik

Smoothing it over her bump, she smiled and looked at her best friend via the mirror. "Thank you. I should've called and have you tell me that yesterday when I cried over the fact that blue dress I love wouldn't fit." She could laugh about it now, but yesterday she was upset for most of the day and even cried to her mom about it. "I love it. I really do." She said and turned to the side to look at her bump. She couldn't believe how big she had gotten and knew there was still room to grow. Thinking about the baby, Tyler came to mind and her face fell. "Can I talk to you about something?" @hazalxalpman

"Uh, yes, you absolutely should have called." Hazal feigned scolding Renee, the corners of her lips turning upward and giving her away. She watched as Renee admired herself in the mirror and then her face fell. Hazal's own expression mirrored that of her best friend. "Of course, you always can." Hazal assured, not wanting Renee to feel like she couldn't. "What's going on, babe?" @hazalxalpman

"Excuse me." Adrian paused, stopping just short of the other, though, close enough it were obvious he were talking to her. "I'm trying to find something new for dinner that doesn't result in the leftovers I've meal prepped for lunch -" he paused. "I think if I eat another bite of ground turkey before my shift tomorrow I might lose my mind. I'm craving fish, maybe some fresh vegetables." he admitted. "Where's the best place to go around here?"

Hazal stopped mid stride as she heard someone call to her. A warm smile tugged at the corner of her lips. "Well, if you want something like that," she hummed her lips in thought, "that sounds like something Neptune Oyster would excel in." And she knew that they did. "They've probably got the best seafood in all of Oregon but really, I think it just helps that we're so close to the ocean. We don't have to wait days for anything. It's all very fresh." @adriandmaldonado

"That's a plus." Chiara nodded, smile evident in her words. "I don't mind being active; makes me feel a little less bad for the carbs I consume on a regular basis." she added. From what she could tell the other agreed. She watched as the other grabbed a cannoli, the largest one that Chiara could see but also the one that she'd ironically been eyeballing, listening as the answer to Chiara's question seemed to be forming in the other's mind. "I do love lemon dishes." she stated. "In savory or in desserts." she nodded, agreeing with the other's words. She waited, realizing she'd asked a lot of questions at once. "If you think we could maybe work something out, I'd love to promote local." she stated. "We're looking to make some changes maybe soon, so it doesn't have to be tomorrow, but something I'd be interested in in the future for sure." @hazalxalpman

Hazal laughed softly, knowing what the woman meant. For as much time Hazal spent in the kitchen, she was guilty of consuming her sweets. Someone had to taste test to make sure that she wasn't feeding Kismet Harbor shit sweet treats. "Of course," she nodded her head, "collaboration takes time." Hazal smiled warmly in her direction. "But I do think it would be great to have more connections within Kismet Harbor. Not that I don't love seeing a line out the door, but we can work something out, maybe even have rotating desserts or desserts paired with specific meals." The brunette was just rambling now. "Regardless," she kept her smile, I'm looking forward to it." @chiaravitale

END.

"Rosemary dan--danish it is," he replied nodding his head. He had never really tried or had a herb in a pastry before and he thought it was interesting for sure and something to try. The male took a bite and was actually surprised by the taste, he closed his eyes, enjoying it which could be seen on his face. "Lik---like it's super good. fuck...." he spoke opening his eyes before covering his mouth for a moment. "So--sorry about the language b---but I like it." @hazalxalpman

Hazal watched, though not in a creepy way. The way that someone tasted food told her a lot of how much they either liked it or disliked it. She noted the way that there was a hint of surprise that lit up the other's eyes before they came to a close. A common reaction she had seen when having other's try. Hazal's own lips parted in laughter at the other's swear words. "Thank you, and no need to apologize, honestly. Somehow, that's actually more of a compliment to me." @orionxblakewood

His mind seemed to be all over the place, feeling like he was talking and blabbing all about. Could be the fever he figures, his mind also feeling like it weighed like a ton of bricks. He closed his eyes while he heard her making the tea in the kitchen, the sound of her working about it made him smile. Hearing her voice as she got closer, he opened his eyes and saw the mug upon a coaster. "Thanks," he leaned to take it gently, his hand holding the handle so he wouldn't burn himself. He took in a breath, smelling the hot liquid or at least he tried to as his nose was stuffed. "Do you know if we have any vaporub?" He asked and took a small sip before setting the mug back down. "No, I just came right down here after waking up and bringing in Gatsby." @hazalxalpman

"I'm sure that we do. I can go check." Hazal told him, pushing herself up from the seat she had just taken. She knew that it was no fun to be sick and she was going to do her best to help Archie through it. Even if she wouldn't be perfect at it. Hazal retreated further into the home, searching through the bathroom cabinets until she stumbled across it. "Ah-ha!" She muttered to herself, holding it tightly in her hand while she came back to the living room. "Here you go." Hazal set it down by him, giving him a faint smile before she returned to the seat she had taken. @archiemorgan

Shopping for maternity clothes had been something Renee put off for the most part. She had a few items, but she had resorted to using a rubber band on her jeans, wearing bigger shirts and stuff, or wearing the dresses she had that could fit. As her stomach was getting bigger, though, she knew she needed to get better clothes so she agreed when Hazal asked her to go shopping. Together, they had picked out a few things and she went to the change room to try some on. She came out in a dress that definitely showed off her body and ran her hand along her bump. "Really?" She asked and turned to look at herself in the mirror. "You don't think it's too much?" @hazalxalpman

Hazal was immediately shaking her head at Renee's question. "Oh, absolutely not. It looks absolutely perfect on you." She stood up, moving to stand beside Renee. "You are glowing as an expectant mother to be and you should show that off." She paused for a beat, "But the real question is how does it make you feel because if you don't love it, then we definitely shouldn't get it." Hazal wanted to make the day about Renee, the best she could. @reneevthompson

The remainder of the descent down the tree went without issue and as soon as Hazal was touched back down on the ground, Aliye clambered down herself. The kitten was tucked safely against her chest as she scaled down with ease. "Hey, as long as you guys had the prettiest tree house in the city, I'd say that's a win," she teased, her own feet thudding gently against the ground as she spoke. Unwrapping her shirt where she'd tucked the kitten in, she pulled the little creature out and held it out to Hazal. "Now, what's the plan here? Are you in the market for a very adorable little kitten?"

@hazalxalpman

"I don't know that I'm in the forever market for a kitten, I would have to check with Archie." She smiled at Aliye, "But I don't think they'd mind if we fostered it for a bit. I would feel bad taking up another spot in the local shelter." She knew how quickly they could fill up. "I was actually thinking of doing some paintings of animals at the shelter and auctioning them off as a way to help raise money, especially for the ones that have been there for a while." @aliyebalik

"You've always been really beautiful too. Wise and beautiful, man am I lucky." A hint of a smile crept upon his lips before hacking another cough into his elbow. "Okay," he agreed and shuffled over to the couch, grabbing one of the throw blankets they had. "I'll sleep here tonight so I don't get you sick," he added, able to project his voice from the living to the kitchen, especially in the open concept of their home. He didn't want to get her sick and figured sleeping side by side wouldnt help the situation. @hazalxalpman

Hazal heard what he said, but she didn't respond as she focused on making him a warm liquid. She hoped that it would soothe his throat and provide some relief in the discomfort. After some time, Hazal returned to the living room where she found him on the couch like instructed. "Here," she placed it on a coaster in front of him, "just be careful the mug is really hot." Hazal stepped around the table, opting to take a seat on the comfortable chair near the couch. She figured if he was offering to sleep elsewhere, that she should sit on the couch as well. "What else can I get for you? Have you taken any medicine?" @archiemorgan
